U did not readed it well. As firefox on android do not have sandboxing and segregation things It cant give individual websites permissions like js cookie etc. Firefox due to same reason cannot tell about WHICH SITE IS SAVING WHAT DATA ON MY DEVICE.I need to know that info so I am asking for any solution but as per what I know there are no solutions
Sorry for poor english
cant give individual websites permissions like js cookie etc.
Don't you think there is a reason why none of browsers provide this feature? Do you seriously want to open a website and be greeted with 30 pop ups asking "do you want to allow javascript on api.example.com website?". Then instantly "do you want to allow loading static images/media on api.example.com website?". Point is - it's not how web works.
WHICH SITE IS SAVING WHAT DATA ON MY DEVICE
Imagine in your perfect world you get a pop up saying "Firefox has detected that example.com has saved 2 cookies on your device and they consume 43 bytes of your storage space. Do you want to delete them?". Again, even if it saves cached data (static images) - why would you care? Firefox has addons that can help you to get rid of tracking cookies.
Please learn on how internet works. There is no such thing as "website", especially in your context. Technically, your requested features could be possible to implement, but that would break like 100℅ of websites. And what you are probably looking for is something like Postman, but for Android. 🙆
Noscript does exactly that. Poorly there is no exception to allow x origin only on y domain. But yeah, its supported very well
The uMatrix add-on for Firefox seems to do what you want.
Discontinued
This makes no sense. Firefox with noscript and "forgetmenot" can selectively allow Javascript per domain, and to save cookies.
This cookie quick manager is probably an extension you want.
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/collections/17446767/Fenix-Addons/
This is a custom addon collection, I will add cookie quick manager if its missing
Thanks this is exact thing I was looking for. A bit more explanation
Use noscript and ublock to control what gets to your browser and what gets executed there. Noscript is so underrated, its literally the best way to remove tracking. All these superficial blockers cant reach manual opt-in for javascript, selected by origin.
Forgetmenot replaces firefox desktop functionality, but does even more.
Out of context but do u use ff sync or not?
Yes its great. Biggest reason why Chromium is not an option, apart from UserChrome.css, user.js, many addons and an addon store not by google not requiring an account
I use Iceraven with ublock, privacy badger, decentraleyes and canvasblocker.
But I want to know site data saved on my device,Any way!
Cookie quick manager on Mull.
Cookie is not only form of data saved?
Forgetmenot can handle all data
Fennec (Firefox based), with Ghostery and uBlock origin installed.
You'll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it's easy as pie.
Ghostery sends like every website you visit to their servers. Its opt-out and Ublock origin is better anyways. Firefox really has a problem of not marking bad addons
Hmm but On FF there are no way to see induvidual site data
Addons
